If you don't want to stay installing Apache + MySQL + PHP as standalones and skip configuration hassles, a ready-made WAMP/LAMP package is just for you. These are ideal for development and testing scenarios. The following is a list of such packages which I have used and recommend:
Windows
WAMP Server - probably the best WAMP for Windows
Uniform Server - this can be installed on a USB pendrive and deployed anywhere, very handy and works great
Easy PHP - another good WAMP package
Linux
Many linux distros such as Ubuntu come with a LAMP package installed. Here is a good tutorial on getting them setup if not: http://lamphowto.com/
Platform indepenent
XAMPP - available for many different OS's and also includes Perl. Also runs from a pendrive |

Talking about WAMP, you can also change between php4 and php5, even though it comes by default with 5. Also you can add the Zend Optimizer.
For testing purposes on a Windows platform it is the best of the three I guess, for sure much better than installing everything on your own, especially with the ease to add / remove librariers.
However please not that it is not advisable to install WAMP in a productive environment, nor in my opinion a ready made LAMP. These are for quick tests, and if you want a proper productive environment, don't try to win time by installing ready made packages, since there is a risk that you don't know 100% what there is.
